N/A

Query Syntax

ESR?

Query Parameters

None

Query Response

Numeric ASCII value from 0 to 255

Description

The Event Status Register query - queries and clears the contents of the Standard Event
Status Register. This register is used in conjunction with the ESE register to generate the
ESB (Event Status Bit) in the Status Byte.

The layout of the ESR is:

Bit 0 - Operation Complete
Bit 1 - Request Control (not used in the VM3608A/3616A, always 0)
Bit 2 - Query Error
Bit 3 - Device Dependent Error (not used in the VM3608A/3616A, always 0)
Bit 4 - Execution Error
Bit 5 - Command Error
Bit 6 - User Request (not used in the VM3608A/3616A, always 0)
Bit 7 - Power On

The Operation Complete bit is set by the VM3608A/3616A when it receives an *OPC
command.

The Query Error bit is set when data is over-written in the output queue. This could occur
if one query is followed by another without reading the data from the first query.

The Execution Error bit is set when an execution error is detected. Errors that range from
-200 to -299 are execution errors.

The Command Error bit is set when a command error is detected. Errors that range from -
100 to -199 are command errors.

The Power On bit is set when the module is first powered on or after it receives a reset
via the VXI Control Register. Once the bit is cleared (by executing the *ESR? command)
it will remain cleared.
